With our state-of-the-art facilities and a commitment to excellence, we aim to restore your quality of life and help you regain the freedom to move without pain or limitation. 

Knee Patella Dislocation

Knee patella dislocation is a serious condition that affects the stability and functionality of the knee joint. When the patella (kneecap) slips out of its normal position, it can lead to severe pain, swelling, and difficulties in movement. Often, this injury occurs due to trauma or sudden changes in direction during physical activities, making it particularly common among athletes and active individuals.

One of the significant benefits of addressing knee patella dislocation promptly is the potential to avoid long-term damage to the cartilage and surrounding ligaments. With proper diagnosis and treatment, including options such as bracing, physical therapy, or surgical intervention, patients can regain strength and mobility. If left untreated, it could lead to complications such as chronic instability or deterioration of the cartilage, which may necessitate procedures like cartilage transplantation.

At Utku Erdem Ozer's clinic, we prioritize a personalized approach to treatment, ensuring each patient receives the care tailored to their specific needs. Our experienced team is equipped to perform thorough evaluations and recommend the best course of action to facilitate your recovery.

Don't let a knee patella dislocation hinder your lifestyle. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards regaining your mobility and freedom.

Cartilage Transplantation

Cartilage transplantation is a revolutionary solution for those suffering from chronic joint pain and limited mobility due to cartilage damage. This procedure involves replacing damaged cartilage with healthy cartilage, significantly improving the quality of life for patients. By restoring the joint’s natural function, cartilage transplantation can effectively combat conditions such as Knee patella dislocation.

One of the major benefits of cartilage transplantation is its ability to reduce pain and inflammation in the affected area, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with minimal discomfort. Patients often experience faster recovery times compared to traditional surgeries, enabling them to regain strength and stability more quickly.

Furthermore, the advancements in surgical techniques have made these procedures less invasive, leading to smaller scars and a quicker return to normal activity. Individuals suffering from conditions like Hallux deformity or Scapholunate ligament injury may also find relief through cartilage transplantation, as it promotes the regeneration of healthy tissue.

If you are struggling with joint issues or the repercussions of injuries like Knee patella dislocation, consider discussing cartilage transplantation with your healthcare provider. It could be the key to not only alleviating pain but also enhancing your overall joint function and mobility.

Hallux Deformity

Hallux deformity, commonly known as bunions, can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. This condition occurs when the big toe deviates towards the other toes, causing a painful bony protrusion at the base of the toe. The combination of discomfort and aesthetic concerns makes addressing hallux deformity essential.

Early intervention is crucial, as untreated hallux deformity may lead to increased pain and complications, including secondary toe deformities. Various treatment options are available, ranging from conservative methods like orthotics and activity modifications to more invasive procedures for advanced cases.

At Utku Erdemozer's clinic, we emphasize personalized care tailored to your unique needs. Our comprehensive assessment process ensures that we understand the severity of your condition and recommend the most effective treatment options, including potential surgical interventions if necessary.

If you or a loved one is suffering from hallux deformity, don’t let it hold you back. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards regaining your mobility and comfort.

Scapholunate Ligament Injury

Scapholunate ligament injury is a common wrist condition that can cause pain, instability, and decreased function. This crucial ligament connects the scaphoid and lunate bones in the wrist, playing a vital role in maintaining wrist stability and proper motion. When injured, it can lead to complications, including scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) wrist, which can severely impact daily activities and overall quality of life.

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for optimal recovery. Symptoms often include:

Wrist pain, especially during movement

Swelling and tenderness

Reduced range of motion

A feeling of instability in the wrist

Various treatment options are available, depending on the severity of the injury. Non-surgical approaches may include:

Resting the wrist and avoiding aggravating activities

Wearing a splint or brace for stabilization

Physical therapy to improve strength and flexibility

In cases where conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical intervention might be necessary. Procedures could involve repairing the ligament or reconstructing the scapholunate joint, which can significantly restore function and alleviate pain.

If you suspect you have a scapholunate ligament injury or wish to learn more about effective treatment options, we invite you to visit Utkuer Demozer’s orthopedic clinic for expert advice and care. Don’t let wrist pain limit your active lifestyle; take the first step towards recovery today!

possible eating disorder talk under the cut but idk if this counts. but i need advice on needing to lose weight for medical reasons without losing my shit

my doctor keeps telling me that I need to lose weight to deal with my CSF issue (idiopathic intracranial hypertension), and there is literally no other permanent treatment for this except surgery to install a shunt in my spinal cord. and I'd rather not create the potential for more complications with my fucking brain.

but it's impossible for me to diet without becoming obsessive and trying to restrict food plus exercise in a way that drives my net calories for each day down as close to zero as possible.

I don't know what my problem is but after a week or two of eating healthier and getting past sugar cravings dieting becomes a numbers game to me and i drive myself insane trying to maximize efficiency.

like I lost over 80 lbs in six months the first time I did this. another time i lost a little over 50 lbs in a few months. there were also handful of other dieting attempts that didn't last very long because they hit my mental health too hard too fast and I had to bail for my sanity.

I have not communicated this to my doctor yet but frankly most of the shit I say gets ignored so I'm hesitant to start crying in the office trying to explain this only to be brushed off. also I'm not so sure he's going to take me seriously now that I'm clinically obese.

this dude (optho-neurologist) keeps telling me to go to my primary care doctor and get ozempic but like i am not taking another medication unless i have absolutely need it to function.

but i am serious that there are no other real options for dealing with IIH other than putting a permanent lumbar puncture in my spine. and I really do not want to do that. but if I don't do either of these things, I risk permanent damage to my optic nerves.

there's a medication I can take that reduces CSF pressure but the side effects are such a hit to my quality of life and mental health that I am afraid to go back on them again. It gives me constant stomach pain, nausea, and acid reflux and it makes my larger joints (hips, shoulders, knees, elbows) hurt so bad that my quality of sleep tanks hard. plus the pain makes it difficult to crawl around doing DIY projects. and it's a diuretic so it makes me piss constantly and get dehydrated super easily, which really fucks with what I suspect may be undiagnosed POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome).

I explained the joint pain stuff to my doctor twice and both times he told me that it's not a known side effect even though it's noted on sites about the drug (Mayo Clinic). I refuse to take that shit anymore.

anyway. idk. how do I tell my doctor that i can't diet without going insane. and how do I diet without going insane.

Marina x daughter!reader gets hurt during a soccer game. She’s obsessed with the sport lives and breathes it. So when she gets injured it’s her ACL( care ending injury)

ᕚ---ᕘ

A painful outcry, which went through the marrow and bones of Carina and Maya´s body and drove a shiver down their backs, caused the doctor and the firefighter to run onto the field after a brief shock. Their daughter had clashed with her opponent, been knocked off her feet and thrown a few centimeters through the air.

After that, you hit the ground and your loud scream echoed across the soccer field. It was completely silent, the whistle sounding a break while not a sound could be heard from the fans. All eyes were on you on the floor, a small team of doctors already squatting with you, while you were writhing on the floor, your face contorted in pain.

All your fellow players, even the opponents, had gathered in a small circle around you and the doctors while Carina and Maya had pushed themselves through the crowd and got on their knees next to you. They talked to you softly and watched in shock as you held your knee frantically and it was already beginning to swell under your fingers.

"Hey baby. Stop moving, it is alright. We are here," the blonde said softly, staring down at you in shock. You seemed to despair of the pain, slightly opening your shiny, tearful eyes while you mumbled incoherent whines. You looked between your mothers before the brunette found her words. "What hurts? Can you tell me that?"

Without words and with a face turning red from pain, you pointed to your knee joint, which took on a bluish discoloration and on which the doctors were already touching around. Maya gently stroked your hair and rested her hand on your shoulder while trying to calm you down with soothing words. "The doctors are doing what they can, but you can expect that you will not be able to play today and we are going to the hospital instead."

"No! No. We have to win the game! I have to play,"

Your mothers gave you a slightly annoyed look and shook their head hastily. How could you think of winning a stupid game while lying on the floor in unnatural pain? "Bella, non c'è modo. You are injured and we will not allow your addiction to the game to cause further injury." it burst out on the Italian and you stared at her defeated.

Your mother was right and you could not persuade the two rock-hard women anyway - you could not play like that.

With a firm grip under your armpits, Maya had clawed you and pulled you up, Carina carefully supported your balance with two hands on your shoulder blades. "Can you put your foot down?" a small but nice question that made you say no when you tried to do so. "No, it hurts so terribly!" you replied whimpering and leaned on the blonde's shoulder.

"Ti portiamo in ospedale. Maya? Hospital. It is probably the anterior cruciate ligament, it needs treatment." nodding, she pulled you closer to her. With quick steps, you both walked and hobbled down the muddy path from the soccer field until you reached the Italian's parked Porsche.

ᕚ---ᕘ

It had been two days since you were discharged from the hospital. As revealed by an X-ray, this was not just a simple injury, but a serious one that caused problems. Your mother was right and you really did destroy your anterior curciate ligament as a result of your accident and had to have surgery.

Now you were lying on the couch at home, your leg propped up on three pillows, while your favorite show was playing that you were not even paying attention to. Instead, you dwell on your thoughts.

Anything could have happened. Everything, but not that. It was the penultimate game of the season and now you had destroyed your knee in the decisive game for the final, which meant a four-month break for you. Now you could not attend such a big event and play for the cup.

"That is bewitched!" you shouted and slammed your fist angrily on the pillow that lay on your lower stomach. The blonde and brunette who had taken time off work to take care of you, quickly moving over to you and ignored the washing machine calling for them.

"Honey, what do you mean?" Carina whispered softly to you and gently ran her fingers through your hair. Tears wet your cheeks and you let out a soft sob, the pain brewing with the feeling of failure inside you. "I have failed."

"Hey, you did not fail. You are injured and that has nothing to do with failure. You will still get the trophy, I promise you that," the blonde continued the conversation and pressed a big kiss on your head, her hand softly touching your thigh and caressing it. Her voice was still a whisper.

A simple whisper that meant so much to you.

"But I let you down. You ran a 10,000 meter sprint with a sprained ankle and won the gold medal. And me? I just fell on the floor and now I have…this" you admitted, pointing to your braced knee. The last few weeks, the last few months have been so beautiful. Maya, Carina and you, were looking forward to your soccer game and had imagined what it would be like to celebrate your beaming face with the trophy in your hand.

But now everything had gone differently and you were lying here on the dreary couch and all hopes were destroyed.

Two horrified and deeply saddened faces exhaled loudly and were silent for a brief moment while they looked down dejectedly. You had no reason to compare yourself to Maya, you were unique in your own way and they hated that they could not take your worries away. "I beg you, Y/n.. you are not a failure." the Italian broke the silence and looked at you invitingly.

"Look at me little one," the blonde said cautiously, bending slightly over you and always looking into your eyes. You looked up at her questioningly, blue eyes boring into yours. "Neither Carina nor I are disappointed in you. Rather, we are happy that you did not injure yourself worse."

You nodded cautiously, holding back your words. The blonde smiled and got up from her seat before disappearing again. "Mom?" you called after her as she was about to disappear into the bathroom and she turned around questioningly. You held up the already heated ice pack. "Can you get me some new ice? It's starting to hurt again."

"An ice pack for the princess with extra painkillers and vanilla ice cream is coming right away!" she said curtly and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen. A few minutes later she came back two her wive and you with all the things and sat down next to you again. "Now back off. We are going to watch a horror movie to distract you a little," she giggled, grabbing the remote control. With a little nudge on your nose, you pressed yourself to the blondes side and rested your head on her chest.

"Se metti un film horror e lo guardi con lei, sei una donna divorziata."

As much as I agree that people who have EDS shouldn’t talk over people who have worse disabilities than us, and as firmly as I believe that disabled people should let other disabled people speak about their struggles without comparing it to EDS, I need you to know that having EDS, especially my type— the one you find more often than other types, is not just “being bendy”.

I was diagnosed with EDS when I was a baby. I was very lucky, and was able to receive treatment (whether good or bad) quicker than others. However, EDS caused my hip dysplasia, it caused the condition that affected my mobility to the point where I needed three corrective hip surgeries; it was the cause of my bone not forming, I needed a bone donor to aid in correction. I have three long scars on my bikini line where Dr Caroll (from Shriner’s in Utah) cut into me in order to give me a better chance of having less limited mobility.

EDS isn’t just me being able to play bendy straw with my hands, it isn’t just me having to deal with “fake dislocations, it’s subluxations so it’s not that bad”. It caused my scoliosis, it caused my arthritis from my joints going out of place so often. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis as a child, but as I got older, my arthritis spread to more places. I have burning nerve pain that makes me want to die, I have partial paralysis whenever my body decides to attack me spontaneously, I have dystonia, I have hearing loss, allergic reactions, and pain in every joint in my entire body. From head to toe, all of my joints, all of my muscles.

EDS is something that has severely impacted and negatively effected my entire body. It took everything from me, it took my already limited mobility, it took my peace, it took my mental health, it took my most beloved hobby ever— riding horses. I cannot sit to play piano, use my hands for my guitar, sit in a chair for more than 30 minutes without my back muscles screaming.

I took 14 pills every single day with multiple prescriptions because of what EDS has caused. I am undiagnosed with something that nearly killed me last year, everyone was preparing for me to die, and it has been dismissed by anxiety or an eating disorder, it is caused by my disease. EDS will affect me for the rest of my life.

EDS isn’t “just” being hyper mobile. This isn’t just a small disease that people go through, it is life altering and life compromising and life threatening from all of the comorbidities that come along with it; it is debilitating, it is isolating, it is pain that cannot be treated with even IV morphine, it is a constant, unrelenting acid rain condition just as many other physical disabilities.

People who have EDS shouldn’t try to play the Sick Olympics, we shouldn’t go to someone’s page and say “I’M JUST AS SICK AND DISABLED AS YOU ARE”. We should take the time to listen to people who have it worse, because so often they get ignored by abled people, they don’t need other disabled people to say that their conditions aren’t worse just because we have it bad. So many people are definitely more disabled than I am, and that absolutely does not erase my struggles.

Every physical disability affects the body in different ways, and every physical disability isn’t necessarily comparable to others. My degenerative arthritis isn’t the same as someone’s ankylosing spondylitis. My joints are fucked and my mobility has been significantly decreased as my disease has progressed. I am not going to compare my knees that will need to be replaced to someone whose spine is literally fusing together. Even though it’s a form of arthritis, it isn’t the same as mine and it isn’t my place to pretend it is.

But someone saying “it’s just hyper mobility” is perpetuating a harmful narrative, because people already don’t believe us, our stuff doesn’t show in labs and it only shows during further and extensive testing that many doctors don’t want to pursue because we’re “faking” or “being over dramatic”, because it isn’t “that bad”, it’s just bendy joints, it’s not debilitating./s It isn’t just being bendy, it is so much more and doesn’t need to be dismissed solely because it isn’t the same or as severe as someone else’s condition. Even if someone does have it worse, it doesn’t mean that EDS isn’t bad, and just because someone has EDS, it doesn’t mean it’s always comparable and needs to be shouted to the world on people’s posts about a completely different situation.

Joint pain, especially in the knees and hips, is an area of healthcare where fat people face tremendous misinformation and discrimination. Often any joint pain that higher weight patients have gets immediately blamed on their body size, and they are prescribed weight loss as a “cure.” Tragically, these same patients are often barred from ethical, evidence-based treatments by unnecessary BMI/ weight limits.

In part one of this three-part series we’re going to dig into this conceptually, in part two we’ll talk about fat people and arthritis, and in part three we’ll look at the research, weight-neutral options for prevention and treatment of joint pain, and talk about how options to advocate if someone is denied treatment for joint issues due to weight bias.

First of all, people of all sizes get joint pain, so being thin can neither be a sure preventative nor a sure cure. The discussion about fat and joint health is much more complicated than many people would have us believe. And, to be clear, It is also inappropriate to blame or shame anyone for their joint pain for any reason.

As we often talk about, even if someone believes that fat people have worse joint issues, or if we find that treatments are less effective for fat patients, we can’t simply assume it’s body size and then jump to weight loss as a treatment, because we risk making a harmful correlation vs causation error. In this case, as in many cases, weight stigma in healthcare can be a big part of the problem.

If a fat person and a thin person go to the doctor with the same joint pain symptoms, often the fat person will be told to try to lose weight to cure their joint pain, while the thin person will be immediately offered options ranging from medication, to physical therapy, to surgery. That means that the thin person starts addressing the actual problem immediately, while the fat person may be continuing to exacerbate the issue for weeks, months, or more, while trying to manipulate their body size. Then, when they present with more serious knee issues, their body size will be blamed. And if they have exacerbated the issue to the point that they need surgery, they may be denied that surgery because of …wait for it…their weight. So weight stigma in healthcare exacerbates the problem, and then weight stigma in healthcare denies treatment.

To add insult to (actual) injury, often when fat people’s treatment outcomes are compared to thin people’s, the person comparing won’t take into account the fact that fat people are made to wait longer to get treatment, which means that they start off with more advanced issues.

And let’s remember that there’s not a single study that shows that weight loss works long term for more than a tiny fraction of people long term.  Frustratingly, even healthcare practitioners who know this will often still prescribe weight loss. Prescribing weight loss to cure joint pain (based on the idea that it almost never works, but it will be great if it does) is roughly the same as prescribing flying because if you jump off your garage and flap your arms really hard you probably won’t fly, but think of the joint pain relief you would feel if it worked and your feet never had to touch the ground!

A medical model that suggests that in thin people “knee pain” is the diagnosis and “interventions shown to help knee pain” are the prescription, but that in fat people “knee pain” is the diagnosis and “attempt to be less fat” is the prescription is rooted in weight stigma and will harm fat patients.

A weight loss prescription is also medically unethical without informed consent – which requires a healthcare professional to explain clearly that intentional weight loss attempts are almost never successful long-term and often result in weight gain. (Meaning that if the healthcare practitioner believes that body size is the problem, they are giving a prescription that results in a larger body up to about 66% of the time.)

So if you are dealing with joint pain and you’re being told that weight loss is the only thing that can help, you are absolutely, positively, one hundred percent being lied to.

I’m disabled and I rely on state income to survive. It’s not a choice, I’m not an indulgence it’s an absolute necessity to be able to exist at all.

I worked for as long as I could, even after the DWP declared me unfit for work I was still trying to go back to work against the backdrop of being cyber bullied online by ex-colleagues telling me I was faking it even though I was trying to work and they weren’t privy to any of my medical history.

⚠️ sensitive content warning ⚠️

They didn’t care that I had made an attempt on my life or that I was born disabled pretending to be able bodied, because nobody wants a life on state benefits with all the hate, exclusions and stigma that comes with it. Their cyber bullying: case in point.

I paid my contributions when I last worked and if I could safely work now, without such high risk of injury with a congenital disease, I would already be working.

No rational person wants to be dependent on a system that is so punitive and harmful for daring to exist disabled; no one chooses a lifetime of poverty over financial independence unless they have no other choice.

The reality for me is that my condition doesn’t allow me to work safely. Certainly not without constant risk of injury, even typing this post comes at great cost with recovery time needed but I am tired of privileged able bodied speaking at me, over me or for me. Everything poses a risk for me all day long and my life is constantly a risk assessment.

What you don’t see are the finger splints I use throughout the day, the neck pain and risk of brain stem compression from an unstable neck (CCI) currently being neglected by rheumatology with an open complaint to my NHS Trust after years of battling for access, where I’ve experienced multidisciplinary failures as a disabled person with long term health needs.

I experience raging headaches the moment I wake up where sleep gives me NO reprieve, the constant flashing auras, my fingers trying to dislocate from the most benign tasks, my hips popping throughout the day, the fever I feel all day long from abnormally high white blood cell count for years now, my body behaving like it’s fighting off a never ending infection which is exhausting on my body. The chronic fatigue flare ups from EDS, and on and on it goes. All day everyday.

I can’t even put the recycling out for collection safely without constantly feeling my joints wanting to slip out of place or the dizziness I feel from trying to bend down. I feel sick much of the time and everything hurts. Yet I still try at great cost and long recovery in bed afterwards.

Even when I think I might be doing a little bit better one day and try to do a little bit more, by body reminds me how disabled I am and I’m always shocked after a lifetime of internalised ableism.

Even standing, sitting or sleeping hurts. In my last job I would struggle with stairs opting for the lift, you could audibly hear my knees grinding each step I took, it was like the sound of flip flops and my knees would swell up whilst I was sat at my desk with me in distress wondering how on earth I was going to make it to the bus stop home when I could barely feel my legs below my knees to walk.

Any adjustments I asked for at work was met with derision or I was accused of making too many ‘demands’ by my line manager. All I was asking for was a foot rest to elevate my knees.

That particular side of my condition has been there since I was 13 and neglected to this day. All I have ever known is neglect and dismissed as a woman with a medical condition with my every experience diminished including my own family.

I once had a GP tell me my pain was psychosomatic. After a formal complaint to the surgery and an eventual referral, it turned out my facet were fusing in my spine and required immediate treatment.

My knees regularly balloon from the most benign activity. I bruise all the time, and even the tiniest trauma causes the biggest bruises. I’ve even woken with a bruised lip like I’ve been punched and no idea what caused it.

caption: left photo, knee comparison where you can see the left knee has ballooned compared to the right know - all I did was stand for 10 minutes. Right, a single pin prick from a nurse trying to take blood and this is the bruising that follows NB: she didn’t even get any blood out of that hand. The bruising is always seemingly disproportionate to the trauma that caused it.

My life is a full time job of managing my health, medical appointments, social worker interactions, fighting for home adaptions, constant open complaints from barriers to access and accessibility from across all disciplines and services (8 years to get an accessible kitchen as one example).

Being this disabled is a full time job I never wanted with no time off and no wage.

Constant pain which I feel even more acutely as a result of fibromyalgia. Even simply touching me hurts and I have bad reactions to even things touching my skin. Even a plastic carrier bag brings me out in angry welts.

Caption: left photo, after 5 mins out in the garden. right photo, after a plastic bag came in contact with my wrist and hand.

My temperature might test normal, but I am red hot from feeling feverish and my face visibly goes read from MCAS flare ups throughout the day.

Caption: On one occasion, as I was in the garden I made the mistake of trying to bend down to grab something, got instantly dizzy, fell and nearly took my eye out.

I’ve had bad falls from trying to do the most benign activity from simply getting up from a chair as I have undiagnosed POTS as a comorbidity from hEDS.

I’m consistently feeling faint and dizzy from everything. I’ll be trying to get from one point to another and the next thing I know I’m falling against the wall, not even realising I’ve lost my balance from high blood pressure. I can be lying in bed, completely stationary and the room is spinning, I am so dizzy and I feel sick, it’s so nauseating. There is no safe activity and there is no safe position.

Never ending micro management of my condition and everything I do poses a risk. Even typing this post.

I interact badly with all pharmaceuticals and have allergic reactions to everything I’ve ever been given. I nearly died from dental anaesthetic as a child and I’ve had reactions to everything my whole life, from birth including food sensitivities/allergies. This is a congenital disease after all, genetic and hereditary.

I’m a minefield for medical professionals as usual treatments don’t work or place me at high risk of allergic reactions. The last time I had antibiotics, for example, after a single dose I went yellow with jaundice within minutes, feeling sick and faint. I had to stop treatment immediately. I even have to take liquid ibuprofen meant for children because I even struggle with over counter medication. I have to portion control that otherwise that too can make me ill.

When you stub your toe it hurts, when I stub my toe it dislocates and can even break, all my joints are so loose all the time. I’m at constant risk from anything and everything.

Caption: After a dislocation and possible break in 2024 that I managed at home. If I went to hospital for every single health event I’d never leave. Disabled people manage so much at home saving the NHS and government.

What you take for granted as an able bodied person I have to assess whether I can do any of it safely even brushing my teeth from standing or sitting, thats before you get to what this condition does to me internally.

Right now I’m having a GI flare up and I can’t eat any of my existing foods without from vomiting it all back up. That has meant doing an ‘emergency’ food shop of low-FODMAP foods just so I can eat. Yes I had to use my PIP for that. How would vouchers help me manage a complex condition that can flare up in any way at any time. I need cash payments to mange the daily challenges and the repeated flare ups.

I’ve been dealing with endometriosis my entire life with debilitating pain and clots the size of a grapefruit. To this day I remain undiagnosed. So aside from being disabled which is struggle enough on its own I’ve had medical gender bias, lifetime of neglect and constant barriers to care whilst living in poverty.

Disabled people, were all but removed from the warm home discount criteria after it was changed not too long ago. As someone whose mobility is materially impacted by temperature I struggle to keep mobile if I can’t keep warm. I cease up and the cold makes me more at risk of dislocation from the added resistance that stiff, cold joints present.

All of this shared, is all before you get to being neurodivergent (ASD and ADHD), bullied my entire life, exploited by my own family and dealing with cPTSD from being raped and experiencing domestic violence. I’ve been stalked, flashed at, harassed and bullied nearly non-stop including from neighbours for being neurodivergent.

I was moved to my current address after a council tenant tried to rape me, with the council blaming me for being subject to a predatory tenant and telling me they’re not responsible for their tenants behaviour all in front an antisocial behaviour officer. As the police recently stated to me this wasn’t simply a breach of tenancy this was a crime, yet the council refused all safeguarding and refused to rehouse me.

It took the housing ombudsman to get me moved for my safety and I was refused all reasonable adjustments upon moving here as punishment by a petty council manager, the very same who blamed me for being assaulted (thankfully he’s since retired).

Everything is punitive all the time which stinks from the head of this grotesquely cruel government.

Most days I don’t know how or why I am even still alive. It has been the most extreme, surreal experience throughout my entire existence and now the government wants to remove my only source of income for no fault incapacity.

Tell me again how I’m at fault for successive governments abuse of taxpayers money and creating unnecessary debt from abuse of office?! I didn’t create the £22billion black hole and yet there’s always money for war but never for the poor.

There’s more to governance than accounting, theres the human life it impacts. My life. Your life.

Minimally Invasive Procedures: Unlike traditional open surgery, robotic surgery in Jaipur involves small incisions, resulting in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times. Patients can return to their daily activities much faster compared to conventional surgery.

Lower Risk of Complications: With robotic surgery, the precision of the robotic arms reduces the risk of human error, leading to fewer complications during and after the procedure. This makes it a safer option for high-risk patients or those with complex conditions.

Faster Recovery: Due to the minimally invasive nature of robotic surgery, patients experience less blood loss and trauma to surrounding tissues. This leads to a quicker healing process, allowing patients to resume normal activities sooner than with traditional surgery.

Separating Fact from Fiction in CCL Injury Treatment

Three months ago, my friend Sarah’s Labrador, Duke, stopped mid-sprint in the yard and let out a yelp that sent chills down her spine. Within hours, he was limping and barely putting weight on his hind leg. The vet said it was a torn cranial cruciate ligament (CCL)—basically, the canine version of an ACL tear. Surgery, she was told, was the only real option. But was it?

Sarah’s journey into the world of Dog Knee Pain treatments revealed a jungle of conflicting advice, sketchy Google results, and overpriced consultations. What she eventually learned might surprise you—and it could save your pup unnecessary pain, and your wallet unnecessary strain.

🐾 What Is a CCL Injury, Really?

A CCL injury is one of the most common orthopedic problems in dogs. According to the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, it affects about 85% of dogs with rear leg lameness. While large breeds are especially prone, smaller dogs aren’t off the hook.

But here’s a fact that rarely gets mentioned: Not all CCL tears require immediate surgery. A study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA) in 2018 showed that nearly 35% of partial tears can be managed conservatively with bracing, weight management, and structured rehab—especially in dogs under 30 lbs or with sedentary lifestyles.

🐶 The Myth of “Surgery or Nothing”

While TPLO (tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy) surgery is often touted as the go-to solution by many veterinarians, it’s not without drawbacks. The procedure is invasive, requires a lengthy recovery period, and typically costs between $3,000 and $5,000. But here’s the lesser-known truth: with proper care and the right support tools, like a well-designed brace and structured rehab, many dogs—especially those with partial tears or lower activity levels—can achieve comparable long-term results without ever going under the knife.

That's where the Dog Knee brace comes in.

📏 Bracing: Not Just a Temporary Fix

Custom and off-the-shelf Dog Knee Braces are gaining traction as a viable alternative for certain dogs. In fact, a 2021 clinical study by Orthopets found that over 70% of dogs using a Custom Dog Knee Brace showed improved weight-bearing capacity and decreased lameness within 6 weeks—with no surgery.

Even better? Braces aren’t just for post-injury support. They can help dogs with arthritis, chronic instability, or who are poor surgical candidates due to age or other health conditions.

🐕‍🦺 What Most Owners Don’t Know

Here’s a key point often missed: Recovery isn’t just about immobilizing the joint—it’s about supporting the entire healing environment. That means:

Keeping your dog at a healthy weight lightens the load on their injured knee, easing strain and supporting faster recovery.

Gentle exercises like underwater treadmill therapy or controlled leash walks.

Using a brace not 24/7, but during active hours (to encourage natural movement).

Seeking professional guidance: Search for “Dog Knee Brace Near Me” and ask if they offer fitting assessments. Ill-fitting braces do more harm than good.

🦴 Final Thought

CCL injuries are scary, no doubt. But don’t let urgency lead you to make rushed decisions. Like Duke, your dog might do just fine with a conservative plan—including a well-fitted Dog Knee Brace, rest, and a little time.

Sarah skipped surgery, invested in a Custom Dog Knee Brace, worked with a rehab vet, and today Duke’s back to his zoomies—minus the limp.

Sometimes, the best treatment isn’t the most invasive. It’s the one that fits your dog’s unique story.

Understanding Chiropractic Manual Therapy for Pain Relief  

If you're searching for effective ways to alleviate pain and improve your overall mobility, chiropractic manual therapy might be what you need. Combining skilled hands-on techniques with a focus on the health of the spine, manual therapy is becoming a go-to solution for that seeking non-invasive pain relief.

Chiropractic manual therapy offers many benefits, whether you're dealing with back pain, neck discomfort, or even joint stiffness. This blog will explain what it is, how it works, and why it’s such a valuable option for your wellness.  

What is Chiropractic Manual Therapy?  

Chiropractic manual therapy is a hands-on therapeutic approach to relieving pain, restoring function, and improving mobility. It typically involves targeted techniques like spinal manipulation, soft tissue massage, and joint mobilization. Chiropractors are trained professionals who use their hands (and sometimes special instruments) to precisely target affected areas.  

Unlike general manual therapy used in physical therapy or massage, chiropractic manual therapy focuses primarily on the spine and its connection to the overall body. Its philosophy is rooted in the idea that spinal health is central to total body wellness.  

How Does Manual Therapy Work?  

Manual therapy addresses restrictions in the body caused by injury, poor posture, or chronic stress. The chiropractor uses controlled movements to:

  Adjust the Spine

Chiropractic adjustments improve spinal alignment, reducing stress on the nervous system and enhancing mobility.  

Relieve Muscle Tension

Techniques like myofascial release or soft tissue therapy target tight muscles and fascia for pain relief.  

Support Joint Mobility

Joint mobilization gently moves joints to improve their range of motion and reduce stiffness.  

Using these hands-on techniques, chiropractic manual therapy helps your body heal over time.  

Who Can Benefit from Chiropractic Manual Therapy?  

Chiropractic manual therapy is suitable for a wide range of individuals dealing with various physical conditions. Some of the most common issues it can address include:  

Back Pain

This is a leading problem for many, especially those with sedentary lifestyles or heavy physical work. Chiropractors can help relieve discomfort from herniated discs, sprains, or misalignment.  

Neck Pain

Perfect for easing stiffness and pain often caused by stress, bad posture, or "tech neck."  

Migraines and Headaches

For people suffering from tension headaches or migraines, chiropractic manual therapy may help reduce the frequency and severity of episodes.  

Joint Pain and Stiffness

Manual therapy also benefits those experiencing joint pain in the shoulders, knees, or hips. By addressing the root cause, you may regain smoother mobility.    

Sports or Work Injuries

Athletes and individuals recovering from repetitive motion injuries can benefit significantly from chiropractic techniques to stay active and pain-free.  

The Benefits of Chiropractic Manual Therapy  

Why are so many people turning to chiropractic manual therapy? Here are some of its top benefits:  

1. Non-Invasive Pain Relief  

Chiropractic manual therapy offers an alternative to medication or surgery. It is rooted in natural healing principles and helps the body regain balance without medical interventions.  

2. Holistic Approach to Wellness  

Chiropractors focus on the whole body, not just the specific area of discomfort, making the treatment more effective for overall well-being.  

3. Improved Mobility  

Patients often experience improved movement and flexibility through spinal adjustments and joint mobilization.  

4. Stress Reduction  

Manual therapy also reduces tension by promoting relaxation and improving nervous system function, helping you feel less stressed.  

5. Long-Term Results  

Consistent sessions with a chiropractor can lead to lasting results. Many patients report sustained improvement, letting them enjoy a better quality of life.  

What to Expect in a Chiropractic Manual Therapy Session  

Exploring chiropractic manual therapy might make you wonder what happens during a session. Here’s a simple outline:  

Consultation and Assessment

At your first visit, your chiropractor will ask about your medical history, perform a physical exam, and analyze your concerns to develop a personalized plan.  

Hands-on Therapy

Once specific areas of dysfunction are identified, the chiropractor will use various manual therapy techniques to address pain and restrictions.  

Recommendations for Care

Beyond the session, your chiropractor may recommend exercises, stretches, or ergonomic changes to support your long-term progress.  

Is Chiropractic Safe?  

Yes, chiropractic manual therapy is considered very safe when performed by a licensed chiropractor. However, like any treatment, consulting with a professional is essential to ensure it fits your specific needs and medical background.  

Start Your Journey to Pain Relief  

Chiropractic manual therapy can be a game-changer for anyone looking to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance their overall health. By addressing the root cause of discomfort, this form of treatment empowers your body to heal naturally.  

If you’re curious about how chiropractic manual therapy can work for you, schedule a consultation with your local chiropractor and take the first step toward living pain-free.
